Thursday's Trials n' Triumphs!

YAHOO!!!  I just broke te 90 days mark!   89 till my due date, less if they take it c-section as planned.

I'm so weary this morning.  I can't sleep but my eyes hurt and I can't seem to get awake completely either.  Understandable after the evening I had last night. 

First of all, Michael was sassy and rude all afternoon, wouldn't do his work and so he got in trouble from Derk last night.  He keeps saying he can't find his math book and won't look for it so Derk made him get looking.  After tearing the house apart, bawling his face off and being a total jerk, he suddenly remembered a bin I'd sent to the church but that the kids didn't take right away.  He felt the book was in there and went off at almost 9pm to check.  Sure enough!  There it was!  SIGH

Then Josh called for a ride and Derk went to get him, the littles had been sent to bed.  Suddenly we heard a crash and screaming.  Ember was goofing on Jenaya's bunk bed and fell off of it smashing lip and nose.  There was blood everywere and one look at that nose told me it might be broken.   We got the bleeding stopped and got her downstairs by the time Derk and Josh came home and iced it.   Then came prayer and discussion on what to do.  We hate the doctors here and only use the hospital in extreme emergencies for stitches or whatever.  They give you a choice of 3 diagnosis!!!  Honestly they do!

Anyway, after the ice and prayer, her nose looked much better, I consulted with a nurse friend and also looked up info online and decided we could wait till this afternoon to take her to Winkler to our clinic if we need to.  She is doing great this morning.  Derk woke her when we went to bed last night and checked on her early this morning.  I fell apart!  I couldn't handle anything... the blood, the nose injury... nothing.  Am I getting old and finicky?  Or just pregnant?  sigh...

So that was last night and all evening I'd had incredible pressure and pain in my left leg to the point I was almost in tears.  A hot bath only helped for a few minutes.  In fact, that leg throbbed until around 5am this morning!  I also had wicked heartburn all night too and so between that and the worrying about Em, was up most of the night.  Then at 5am, the snow plows were doing something on main st. and their lights and noise woke me up.  I propped myself on Derk's pillows and rested till 7:30 when the girls got up and then although I FEEL awful, couldn't go back to bed so am now sipping coffee and am about to dress and face this day.  SO glad tormorrow is payday and this weekend is a long one!
